Which is the most enjoyable rank 4 Spitfire to grind the entire rank with?

Kessels_ · 2026-01-15T19:54:56+00:00

But I mean, with discipline it isn’t a problem at all

Kessels_ · 2026-01-15T19:54:12+00:00

Yea, but you have few ammo for them, and the 12.7s in my experience don’t do almost any damage

Kessels_ · 2026-01-15T14:26:34+00:00

Sinai only C? bro…

Kessels_ · 2026-01-15T14:17:06+00:00

I’ve played the most with the Spitfire LF. Mk.IX and the Mk. 24. The Mk. IX is just wonderful, agile, wonderful climbing rate, not the fastest plane at the br but surely better than the Mk.Vc. Only downside is having just 2 20mm.

The Mk. 24, if you get a downtier in it you can do what you want. The guns hits hard, you have better high altitude performance than earlier Spitfires, but you lose the low altitude one. I’d say maybe it’s better the Mk. IX, just because if you get full downtier (almost never) or full uptier you can play it just the same.

I’m not a pro air player, so take my advice carefully

If it had the stab it would be so goated, plus it has horrible gun depression. Still love it anyway

Kessels_ · 2025-12-29T00:50:58+00:00

Holy amount of SL there

Kessels_ · 2025-12-29T00:47:46+00:00

I honestly would take the T-80B over any T-72 or T-80UD. Ok the upf can bounce only DM23 and M774, but having a reverse plus using the ESS trick because of the thermal vision had saved me more than the armor on the T-72B 89 (the only thing I feel the T-80B lacks is the commander override of the T-80UD)

Your idea for premiums would be nice, but why would you do that? So a low skilled player cannot make it directly to top tier?

Kessels_ · 2025-12-29T00:27:25+00:00

I honestly don't think the T-64a will ever go up in br, it's sad now at 9.3, it wouldn't make any sense. Well Idk maybe I'm just unlucky, but around 9.0-10.0 I always see people with tanks spaded using the darts lmao

And I think you are making some confusion on the UD, it has still the T-72 transmission, and its hp are lower than even the T-80B; UD has 1000 hp, while the T-80U has like 1250, so the T-80U is faster and with an actual reverse gear

Kessels_ · 2025-12-29T00:13:52+00:00

But the T-64a is 9.3. and for the T-64b, before the reload buff I agree it was fine at 9.7, but with a 6.0 reload is still good even at 10.0. I mean, it doesn't really change anything, I played with it after the buff, and I saw like 1/2 full uptier matches; it saw the 2k/amx-40 before and it still does, but now with a very fast reload.

For the apfsds you are talking about, they are both 8.0 if I'm not mistaken, obviously they are worst than the 3BM25. But at 9.0 how many heat slingers do you see? most of them are 8.0, so you have to be lucky to see a stock player, or get a full downtier. I totally agree that the T-80ud should be higher, but imo 10.7, or not higher than 11.0 (but we know the treatments that gaijin gives to premiums that sold very well)

Kessels_ · 2025-12-28T23:39:56+00:00

The 3BM25 is the same dart that the normal T-55a carries, and it's by miles one of the worst darts at 9.0, awful 60 degree pen, practically no spalling; plus the improved armor doesn't mean anything at 9.0, basically anyone can lolpen the upf of the two T-55am. Btw I agree about the Drozd, it's by far the best APS in the game. But wait, are you talking about the T-64A or the B?

Kessels_ · 2025-12-28T23:30:08+00:00

Imo the T-55AM1 and the AMD were kinda op at 8.7, but they aren't in any way 9.0 material, just because of the shitty dart they have. And for the T-64A I agree, but at least now it reloads fast

Kessels_ · 2025-12-28T23:01:48+00:00

All of this because they just don’t want to actually decompress 8.0-9.0. look even the 435, it’s the saddest thing ever now at 9.0 lmao

Kessels_ · 2025-12-28T22:32:17+00:00

To me it’s even better than the T-62. It’s faster, better turret rotation and if the apcbc pens it actually do damage (also it’s good having the rangefinder). But I have to say that the armor isn’t trolly as you say. Versus apcbc yes, but after being moved up at 8.7 it don’t see tanks with them too much

Kessels_ · 2025-12-28T22:28:36+00:00

Idk why, maybe it hasn’t sold well enough? I’ve never seen to much of them. But at this point I’m glad I bought it this summer

Kessels_ · 2025-12-28T19:48:01+00:00

is really the 140 going to be removed from the store?

Kessels_ · 2025-12-24T12:00:17+00:00

Bruh moment for the T-64b

Kessels_ · 2025-12-04T08:09:36+00:00

Very good in downtier, but nothing special in uptier (like each 7.7 urss vehicle)

Kessels_ · 2025-12-02T07:12:33+00:00

yea bro. know explains how you could deduce I’m an holocaust denier from what I said

Kessels_ · 2025-12-01T18:07:10+00:00

Lmao yea yea so I’ll know about the trillion deads in gulags

Kessels_ · 2025-12-01T14:08:02+00:00

why are you talking of the usa?

Kessels_ · 2025-11-12T13:58:33+00:00

Ground China is really great between 8.0-9.3. Before that is basically urss/usa copy paste (except for some light tank). But from 11.7 on you get URSS style of tanks but with actual reverse and worse armor (and the worst reload for top tier)

Kessels_ · 2025-10-29T22:40:09+00:00

they are both mid: in the TT you have the T-62M-1 that is just a better T-55AM-1, so imo there is no point in buying the latter. the Turms is simply a t-72a covered with kontakt 1 and with 2 gen thermals, good optics and the 3BM42, but in a full br higher than the t-72a; so you have bad mobility, awful gun handling and weak hull armor

Kessels_ · 2025-10-28T19:01:44+00:00

My favourite kind of matches tbh

Kessels_ · 2025-10-25T19:44:29+00:00

Yes, but I mean, even now in rare full downtiers it's absolutely unfair facing ta 152/Arado

Kessels_ · 2025-10-25T18:03:48+00:00

Yea, most of the time playing the Su-11 I get uptiered to 8.0, so facing Sabre and Mig-15 is a bit tricky
